A few weeks ago; I would have said zero chance.
But the offensive gameplan the past few weeks to take advantage of the strengths Hughes does have has changed the outlook a bit.
Perhaps even more to the point, I watched some of the UNLV-NIU game this past weekend; UNLV did not look good on defense!! NIU moved the ball pretty easily on the ground (and through the air). That was a game that a really really bad NIU could have won in Vegas.
I have a feeling line ends up around 5. Wyoming has a real shot if we continue not turning the ball over and taking advantage of QB legs.

I'm drinking all of the kool aid. I took us on the moneyline at +220. We are historically terrible on the road but this UNLV team is far from a juggernaut. I'm still trying to forget the NDSU fiasco.

UNLV has a terrible defense but this being a road game and Dan Mullen is always good for 2-3 offensive explosions a year has me worried. Hes great at scheming up stuff on the offensive side of the ball
Bohl needs to try to scheme up something on defense.
If we go in with the "our base defense can handle this UNLV offense" game plan, I fear the outcome.
He needs to keep Ethan off the field if he shows any signs of being slow and and use the Rutherford and Perez speed. The UNLV OL is suspect so blitz packages should be used to force Arnold off his mark
UNLV and their QB Arnold will simply take the quick outs to wide outs if Bohl keeps his DBs 8 0r 10 yards off the line.

Wyoming can win this game IF the coaches and players keep stupid mistakes to a minimum. Yeah I know that's a big IF
Also Hughes needs to play within the framework of the O and not try to play hero ball.
